If there are any pharmacists i would really appreciate your inpute. Would this be completely strees full and emotionally draining???

Answer 1

You can do both. I know lots of pharmacists that have big families.

Answer 2

Being a pharmacist today is so much easier than it was when pharmacist were actually mixing solutions and compounding powers, ointments, pills, etc. Today there is none of this. Practically 99% of everything is already to be inserted into pill bottles, or solution bottles, and it is ready to go. The only pharmacists I know who still prepares solution and things of this sort are the hospital pharmacists. They have to mic IV medication for patient there. You have to spend 8 hrs a day on the job, but I think that this is about as least stressful of a job as you can get, if you have the ability to get your pharmacy degree.

Answer 3

I am a pharmacy tech. It would depend on what kind of schedule you can have. In the company I work for we have floaters. Those are pharmacists that can say what hours they want to work and in which locations. You could also be a part time pharmacist or work in a small pharmacy that has a couple of pharmacists so you don't always work weekends or nights.
I don't think it's any worse than any other job.
